Rajput activists demand bail for Sunped murder suspects and claim they were 'framed'

The Rajput community on Sunday organised a mahapanchayat at Sector 10 to express their solidarity with the accused in the Sunped killings.

Several members of the Rajput community from Faridabad, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Delhi assembled in the mahapanchayat and unanimously urged the state to facilitate bail for the accused, who face charges of murder and attempted murder.

They also called on the state to make sure no more arrests are made in connection with the case till the CBI completes its inquiry.

“The case has several loopholes. We suspect that the accused have been framed under serious charges. We are satisfied with the government’s recommendation for a CBI probe. It is only fair that the accused are granted bail, especially to the 70-year-old accused who has been accused of torching the Dailt family,” president of the Rajkul Sanskritik Manch SR Rawat said.

Rawat also heads the mahapanchayat.

The community demanded that the seven accused, who are currently lodged in the Gurgaon jail in Bhondsi, to be brought to the Faridabad jail in Neemka village.

The mahapanchayat also demanded compensation of Rs 50 lakh and a government job for the three Rajputs who died last year in inter-caste clashes.

“If the state government does not act on our demands in the next seven days, we will organise a bigger mahapanchayat and take to the streets to ensure justice,” Rawat said.
